Summary
One particularly horrid winter day in Chicago, Lindsay Moon, PhD, quits her laboratory job to return to Pacific Grove, California, the town where she grew up. Weary of academia, she’s given up on love in general and men in particular. With Covid-19 looming, she’s desperate to see her beloved grandmother again and feel the sun on her face. But it’s a different world than she remembers, and as Covid shrinks her options, Lindsay agrees to step in to run her grandmother’s café, The Owl & Moon. There, she connects with her childhood best friend, Sally DeThomas, a renowned writer, but the same old horse-crazy, defiant Sally, and she’s still the most intriguing person Lindsay has even known. When new love comes her way, she is shocked and uncertain but realizes this could be something worth fighting for. After all, what is love but another chance to find happiness?

Critics Review
“If you’re keen about cooking from scratch, horses and dogs, back roads and small towns, and spunky women becoming more who they were meant to be, this novel is for you. Like butter in certain recipes, it’s rich with an exploration of the families we choose and the families we are born into. Mapson creates a tantalizing sensual world for her readers to enter. Sit down, stay a while. You might not want to go home …”
–Patricia Henley, National Book Award nominee and author of In the River Sweet and Hummingbird House
“Like old friends returning from a visit, The Return of Lindsay Moon allows the reader to catch up with all the complex, wonderful characters Mapson has created over the years. Against a back backdrop of a world leveled by Covid, this timely, gentle story is a poignant reminder.”
–Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of By Any Other Name
